Episode 1 of my series of videos called “DIY Hardware For Music Production And Sound Design” is online now:
This series is an adventurous but also instructive journey into the world of DIY hardware, sound and music production. It is inspired by the book “Handmade Electronic Music” by Nicolas Collins. Beginning with simple but impressive experiments our journey leads step by step to making useful electrical and electronic instruments. Following this series episode by episode you will learn a lot not only about electronics and other hardware, but also about sound itself. And on top of that all it´s a lot of fun.
Enjoy it!
